As bigrob mentioned in the last episode, I'd hope it was more like the plasma pistol on charge up.
As powerful as the splazer was, it really was a niche weapon that took a lot of skill / patience to use well ( or maybe I'm just rubbish with it ) in any case, if it's the love child of a Spartan Laser, I would actively avoid it if I'm in the middle of a fracas.
I'd hope the charge holds, so I don't freak out and ruin the shot at the second the thing is about to fire itself.

I must be the only one who didn't have a problem with the splaser. If you were constantly charging and letting off you could keep the time to wait to shoot down. The rail gun in Halo 4 (I know it wasn't a Bungie title though), was quote similar to the splaser but with less power and a lot shorter charge time.

That's true, and halo 4 just dumped the battery while charged - infuriating! However it was super useful to give you a second or two to get your victim right where you want it. I never felt in control of the splazer, I always thought I was working [i]for[/i] it, instead of it working for [i]me[/i]. I really want to like the fusion rifle though, so fingers crossed!

Anything can be mastered with practice but as Deej says, [quote]There’s a gun for you in there somewhere, with a firing pattern that will feel match-fit to your beating heart.[/quote] If the fusion rifle is too [i]Splazery[/i] for you, then follow your heart to something better suited to your talents. After all, there will not be just one single cohesive light based armament in Destiny!
